The Ellendale Diamond Field is a cluster of lamproite intrusions located 125 km ESE of Derby within the WNW trending Lennard Shelf to the south of the Kimberley Block in the West Kimberly region of Australia. Ellendale's volcanic lamproite pipes intruded during the Miocene age between 22 and 19 Ma, and 48 lamproites have been mapped within the northwest-trending 1500-square-kilometre field. More than 100 lamproite intrusions are known over a wider 7500 km2 area surrounding the Ellendale swarm. S
